No manager has managed more Steel City Derbies without losing than Chris Wilder (5). He surpasses Jack Charlton's record of 4 as Sheffield Wednesday boss. #twitterblades #sufc

Steel City Derby! 🦉⚔️⚽️ Jenny & Geoff have been together 69 years. 82 years an Owl. 84 years a Blade. Jenny had to lie when she was 13 and tell her Dad he was a Wednesday fan because she knew he wouldn’t allow him in the house if he knew he supported United 😂 #swfc #sufc

A few words ahead of tomorrow. Admiration for Wilder, respect for Rohl, a little love letter to Sheffield, a city that moves to the rhythms of United and Wednesday’s weekends, and queasiness. skysports.com/football/news/…

Got to hand it to Sheffield United that’s a cracking programme cover 👏👏👏 #swfc #sufc

🎙️ Chris Wilder on Sheffield "The oldest ground in the world and up the road is the oldest football club in the world so historically we've got strong roots in the game. I've got to say, maybe because of the character of the city, I don't think the city shouts about it enough.…


As someone who invented the Little Chicago Quarter inside my own head, having decided that the heritage area needed a more exciting name than Westbar (basically a road) to differentiate it from West Bar, I'm extremely chuffed by this news.

I wish the world was full of Paul Heaton's ❣️👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a great idea. A book for schools & libraries for kids (& parents) about Sheffield’s unique football heritage. Well played authors @vstox & Steve Wood on behalf of @SHOFSheffield . The way to honour the past is to project it into the future 🙌

Political heavyweights Richard Caborn & Clive Betts have joined ⁦@SheffieldHOF⁩ in a bid to get the city recognised by ⁦@UNESCO⁩ as a world heritage site. Today’s blue plaque unveiling backed by ⁦@sheffieldfc⁩ ⁦@HallamFC1860#SUFC #SWFC & ⁦@PFA

Blades look a team in a groove. Bright, bristling, clinical & with a great see-it-out mentality. Credit to late window business & a manager’s expertise. Also, with every win you’d have to say the “see it to believe it” #SUFC takeover seems less & less likely!


Two October events for anyone interested in the story of Sheffield's Little Chicago Quarter, both deftly combine dramatic social history and pub heritage. Dave's new booklet is on sale across the city.

Great to see both @sheffieldfc & @HallamFC1860 win through again with epic wins in the FA Cup today. Congratulations both!

We kind of take this bloke for granted, don’t we? Besides being a true great of the game, he’s entirely unaffected. A car window came down while I was out walking recently & there was this smiling face stopping for a chat. Could have been anyone. Wasn’t!

ROOOOOOOOOOT! Joe Root's 33rd Test hundred 🙌 #ENGvSL
